BAYVIEW HOUSES CANARSIE BROOKLYN 11236

I still have the old bank books - will post the covers. Remember the school savings bank books? The PS 272 one was from the East New York Savings Bank at Kings Highway and Rockaway Parkway (a beautiful large round building - recently demolished).

I remember when Brevoort became Metropolitan and they gave out radios and appliance timers (a new ... See Moreitem at the time) for gifts. We opened a few accounts (I don't think we had any account with more than $100) so that we could get enough timers to use for turning the lights on and off during the Sabbath. For a long time, we as kids believed that these things could only be gotten from a bank.

I thought the round bank was Williamsburg Bank? I could very well be wrong,lol

Happy Thanksgiving to all....

2085 was my building! I was 2c

PS 272, one of the few vivid memories I have of that time of my life. After school, going to Engle's Barber Shop sitting in the chair listening to the men talking about it.

wow, FB has sure made for a small world.

Does anyone know haow to contact Joan (Sissy) Peters Juhofsky?

I remember Brevort Bank very well I think we has school banking through them

I remember walking from 272 to King Arthur's for lunch. Two franks w / mustard & sauerkraut & a bottle of coke. Less than $1!

I believe in 4th grade I went to 244...We all caught the bus by the Bayview management building..I returned to 272 in 5th grade..

I remember the half day classes-the school was overcrowded. Then I think PS 115 was built to accomodate a lot of the kids from Seaview Village. Or maybe it had a different #. I don't remember being bused anywhere

Food Fair was the sponsor for one of the Canarsie Little League teams. When I was 7, they let me be the bat boy since I wasn't old enough to play yet. The uniform had an "FF" on one side of the chest. Some of the older kids said it stood for something else, not printable on a family site. LOL
